In this paper we present our recent work to develop phonemic and syllabic inventories for Castilian Spanish based on the C-ORAL-ROM corpus, a spontaneous spoken Spanish with varying degrees of naturalness and in different communicative contexts. These inventories have been developed by means of a phonemic and syllabic automatic transcriptor whose output has been assessed by manually reviewing m...

Bottom-up emission inventories provide primary understanding of sources of air pollution and essential input of chemical transport models. Focusing on SO2 and NOx, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of two widely-used anthropogenic emission inventories over China, ECLIPSE and MIX, to explore the potential sources of uncertainties and 15 find the clues in improving emission inventories. We ...

this paper deals with a multi-period fixed charge production-distribution problem associated with backorder and inventories. the objective is to determine the size of the shipments from each supplier and backorder and inventories at each period, so that the total cost incurred during the entire period towards production, transportation, backorder and inventories is minimised. a 0-1 mixed intege...

The sound inventories of the world’s languages show a considerable extent of symmetry. It has been postulated that this symmetry is a reflection of the human physiological, cognitive and societal factors. There have been a large number of linguistically motivated studies in order to explain the selforganization of these inventories that arguably leads to the emergence of this symmetry. A few co...

We evaluate two leading explanations for inventories, the (S,s) and stockout avoidance motives, examining each within dynamic stochastic general equilibrium environments. We find that the (S,s) model is far more consistent with the cyclical behavior of aggregate inventories in the postwar U.S. when fluctuations arise from technology shocks, rather than preference shocks, while the converse is t...
